The folder view widget will do this. You can specify both the directory and 
the mask.

As you can have multiple views of the same desktop with KDE4 this would be 
fairly easy to set up - it's what the Zoom In/ Zoom Out on the Cashew is all 
about.

Not sure exactly what you mean but this might help:
Settings -> Configure KMail
Appearance -> Layout
Select Long folder list
Select Show the message preview pane next to the message list
Apply

Dolphin allows you to tag files. You can then use Nepomuk to index the files and 
sort appropriately. 

Hope this helps.
